I was given this stick vacuum to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Honestly it works well for small messes, and is perfect for my kids to clean up crumbs from cookies or popcorn on the furniture with the attachments. The battery lasts as long as a typical battery vacuum, and with a smaller head I wouldn't say it replaces my regular vacuum for whole house cleaning. But the smaller head does come in handy for hard to get into places, and combined with the long handle it is perfect for getting under the bed. I wish it came with the docking station so it could be stored on the wall instead of leaning in a corner. Other than that it's been good so far.
